How to prepare the base and dilute the gelatin

Jelly is a delicious dessert that is enjoyed not only by children, but also by many adults. Gelatin, which is part of it, helps the dessert acquire a solidified structure. The consistency of the jelly directly depends on the amount of gelatin.

Fans of "trembling" desserts need to dilute about 20 grams of the component in 1 liter of water. If you need to cut it with a knife, then the amount of the substance must be increased by 2.5 times for the same volume of water. Please note that you should not add too little of it either, otherwise your dessert simply will not solidify.

After the gelatin swells a little, it must be put on low heat. A water bath is also suitable for this. While the liquid is heating, stir it constantly and watch the gelatin, it should completely dissolve.

Fruit jelly is very popular with children. Cool, delicate, the taste is magical - the childhood is immediately remembered. Let's try to return it for a moment.

What to make fruit jelly

To make jelly, we will take everything that is in the house that looks like fruits or berries:

• frozen cranberries, we will make the jelly from it, more precisely from its juice
• apples
• Orange
• frozen raspberries
• prunes
• honeysuckle, also frozen

How to make fruit jelly

We will mix the products (fruits and berries) in different combinations so as not to get bored.

To begin with, we take a bag of gelatin in our hands and carefully read the instructions. "Dissolve in warm water and wait until it swells."

Wow! We're never done this way! Thanks to my wife, she's a cunning person (probably because she's a redhead), she took this process into her own hands.

Put the diluted gelatin in the microwave for a minute or two, stir. And so a couple more times. After five minutes, we have fully diluted gelatin ready to use.

Preparing the base for the jelly. Pour some hot water into a deep bowl. Pour the frozen cranberries into the water and add sugar to taste.

We take a blender and grind everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Strain the resulting juice or puree through a strainer so that there are no skins and bones in the jelly.

We dilute the cranberry juice with not very hot water and pour the gelatin into it, stirring continuously.

Now you can prepare the filling for the jelly so that it has the right to be called fruit or berry.

We have made four types of filling:

• apples with orange
• raspberries with apples and sugar
• raspberries with apples and honeysuckle
• apples with prunes

Peel the apples and cut them into small pieces, cut the oranges into thin slices, leave the berries as they are, do whatever you want with the prunes, we cut it.

We spread the filling into deep bowls or cups and fill it with cranberry juice and gelatin.

We put all containers in the refrigerator. I didn’t time it, it froze for half a day.

We take out fruit and berry jelly from the refrigerator and enjoy the taste of childhood.

A! I completely forgot! If you want to get the jelly out of a bowl, put it (bowl) in hot water for 10-20 seconds, then turn over over a plate.

Gelatin is processed collagen, or animal connective tissue protein. Many people practice daily consumption of 1-2 teaspoons of dry gelatin. However, doctors are silent about its full assimilation by the body with this use. But at home you can make all kinds of desserts from gelatin. They are so simple to perform that they will not present any difficulty even to a novice cook. The recipes proposed in the article will tell you how to make jelly with a bright and original taste using a variety of ingredients.

Basic cooking method

You will need about 40 g of gelatin per liter of liquid. Since it is usually packaged in 15 g per package, at least three of them will be needed. The contents should be placed in a glass, the remaining volume of which should be filled with cold water. For uniform swelling of gelatin, stirring the mixture is required at intervals of 10 minutes. After 40 minutes, switch off the jelly base.

It will be possible to significantly save time if you start preparing the rest of the jelly components immediately after pouring the gelatin with water. These can be berries that need to be boiled in a separate container with water and boiled lightly. In the resulting compote, it remains to add the swollen gelatin. The liquid must be re-brought to a boil, stirring continuously, removed from heat and poured into molds.

They need to be placed in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. If the form is roomy enough, then you can leave it overnight.

The type of berries or fruits taken does not affect the setting time of the jelly. The main thing is to ensure that there is no violation of the proportions: when the gelatin is less than necessary, the jelly may not grab. If you have no time to boil, you can take ready-made juices as a basis. To do this, gelatin is also pre-soaked, after which it must be dissolved on the stove, and then added to the juice and mixed.

There is no need to limit yourself to pouring gelatin into fruit liquids if you can experiment a little with fillings. It will turn out to cook absolutely different types of jelly: both externally and in taste.

Dessert number 1 - striped flight

First of all, berry and fruit preparations are made so that the jelly is multi-colored:

• pears + apples;
• pineapples + oranges;
• cranberry + strawberry.

First, one of the liquids is poured with gelatin, after which it must be poured into molds with a layer of about 1-2 cm thick. After an hour of solidification in the refrigerator, the next liquid is added on top of the mixture, which was also brought to a boil after adding gelatin. The molds are placed back in the refrigerator, and the rest of the products are treated in the same way.

If there are not so many ingredients, but only a couple are available, then layers of different colors can simply be alternated. To decorate, you can alternately add a piece of fruit or a berry to each of them. Experiments are welcome here!

Dessert number 2 - avalanche

Dessert requires few ingredients:

• gelatin;
• milk;
• sour berries.

First of all, a berry-gelatin base is prepared, which also needs to be poured into molds. They are placed in the refrigerator in such a way that the contents solidify at an angle. Therefore, wine glasses are perfect as forms for this dessert. The layer frozen in this position will act as a "mountain".

The second layer will be milky. The mixture of gelatin base and milk is brought to a boil and then added to glasses. But they must now be put in the refrigerator to solidify in an even position. The result is a layer of milky snow that adorns the red mountain.

A delicate milky taste and berry sourness are perfectly combined with each other.

Dessert number 3 - a storm in a glass

The recipe contains alcohol, so it is perfect for a feast with friends.

The berry-fruit mixture must be pre-filtered so that there are no fragments of fruit and seeds left in it. Before adding gelatin to the liquid, a small amount of vodka is added to it (1/8 of the total volume). Then gelatin is poured into the mixture, it is brought to a boil. Small glasses are used as containers, where the ready-made liquid is poured. To solidify, they are placed in a refrigerator.

The berry-fruit base can be replaced with orange juice.

Dessert No. 4 - sour cream

Not too fatty sour cream (1l) must be whipped with a mixer with sugar (100 g). Finely chopped prunes are added to the mass in the desired amount. The presoaked gelatin is brought to dissolution and poured into the mixture. It remains only to mix everything well and place in the forms.

Although jelly is not an instant dessert with which you can surprise friends who accidentally drop in for a visit, they are unlikely to be able to do much harm to the figure.
